4th of July Trip

Hey everyone!! Sorry it has been so long since we've updated, but we've been busy. For the week of 4th of July we went back to NC and had a GREAT visit!! We went swimming (a LOT), fishing, to a covered dish dinner at church, Elijah's 1st birthday party, Great-Mama's (Daddy's Mama) surprise 80th birthday party and visited with lots of different people. We were busy but had a great time!! Mommy has updated with a lot of pictures tonight, so we hope you enjoy.

FISHING!
Poppa and Daddy wanted to go fishing, so we tagged along. Elijah was spending the evening with us as well, we all had a wonderful time!

Nana played on the blanket with all of us.

Daddy ALMOST caught a big fish, but it got away from him.

Elijah was not interested in the fish at all.

Kathryn loved the fish!

Cook Out Time! :)

Hey Everyone!! I don't have a lot of time to talk today, but I wanted to upload some pictures from our cookout on Saturday. We had lots of babies in the house. Zach and Diane were here with their twins Alexander (Zander) and Isabella (Bella). Also, Craig and Leah were here with their twins Scarlet and Sophia. Scarlet and Sophia are 8 months old, and Zander and Bella are almost 8 months old, just like the girls. We had a great time and amazingly all of the babies were VERY well behaved. I think they all were entertained with each other, I know my girls were in much better moods then they are when its just the 2 of them!!

Anyway, enjoy the pictures! :)

Lap Sit Story Time

Good Morning!! On Wednesday Mornings our local library has what they call "Lap Sit Story Time" which is designed for children under the age of one. This week was the 2nd week that we were able to go and the girls have a blast. We sing songs together and then the leader will read some books and then she gives the babies a chance to roam around and play with some books on their own. Yesterday she brought out the "bubble gun" and they all LOVED it!! I happened to have the camera in my purse yesterday, so I was able to get some pictures for you. I hope you enjoy!!

Listening intently to the leader. Kathryn was trying to escape but still hasn't mastered the skill of going forward.

Ohhhh bubbles bubbles everywhere...falling from the sky and laying in front of me!! :)
(Someone's big sister was going around stopping the bubbles out, Mommy was not happy with that, but nonethelesss the girls had a great time!)

If only I could stretch just a LITTLE more I could reach those bubbles!!

Mmmm books are fun to eat, I mean read!

Ok this book looks interesting enough to look at WHILE eating it!

Lots of Pictures!

Hey everyone!! We don't have a whole lot to say today, but we have TONS of pictures. So, sit back and enjoy! :)

Here is his Daddy with his medal. We went to a Baby Info Fair at the mall and there was a Daddy Diapering Contest so Daddy entered. He had to go on stage and diaper a fake baby blindfolded with one arm behind his back. We think he got cheated out of winning (the judge was on the other side of the table, so he didn't see Daddy get done first) BUT they did a name drawing for the last prize and Daddy won that. So here he is holding his prize and wearing his medal.

POOL TIME
We got to go swimming in a big pool for the first time last week! We had a blast!

The whole family swimming

Kimberly is in the turtle, Kathryn is in the crab. They're still getting used to the water.

Kimberly says "Daddy I'm not so sure about this, maybe you should come get me."

Kathryn is not sure what to think...

CAROWINDS
Here are a few more pictures from Carowinds, including some from the water park.

If you look real close you can see Kimberly peeking through the bars (don't worry Mommy is holding her)

Daddy, Kathryn and Uncle Ralph are in the green helicopter.

Daddy and his girls in the water park!

AT USC
On Saturday we went to the University of South Carolina in downtown Columbia and took some pictures at the "Horseshoe" (just a grassy area with lots of trees with buildings on 3 sides, so its open on one end like a horseshoe).

"Ohh, we like the way this grass feels"

"Hmmm, whats this Mommy? It looks interesting."

And of course Kathryn has to taste it...

"Daddy WHAT are you doing?"

Workin our arm muscles doing some push ups

"Ohh, look....Mommy is laying in the grass!"

"OH NO we're in Jail!!"

And now Kimberly decides to taste the bars.

"Well the bar didn't taste so good, so I'll eat Kathryn!"

Daddy and his girls

Kathryn smiling in the flowers.

Kimbrely enjoying the flowers.

Mommy and her girls.

Now the question here is...Did Kimberly just push Kathyrn over or is she trying to help her back up?
